The present study was conducted to understand the effect of foliar application of Salicylic Acid (SA) on nitrogen content and soluble nitrogen fractions of groundnut crop. In the study, 30 days old groundnut plants were treated with different concentrations (5, 50, 100 and 200 ppm) of SA. The results showed that all the applied treatments of SA increased total nitrogen content in leaves and roots as well as leaf and seed protein content of groundnut over control. In contrary to it, SA showed decreased nitrate content in groundnut leaves. It could be concluded that SA mediated increased soluble protein contents might be involved in improving nutritive quality of groundnut. SA may also help to diminish the adverse effect of nitrate accumulation in groundnut plant. From these studies, 5 ppm SA should be recommended to enhance nutritive quality of groundnut seeds.
